Crypto Index short-term price trend

Crypto Index analysis highlights that the index has a bullish short-term trading bias while price trades above the 37,000 level.

The 15-minute time frame currently shows that a bearish head and shoulders pattern has formed. The neckline of the pattern is found at the 37,300 level.

Crypto Index analysis

According to the size of the pattern, the Crypto Index could decline back towards the 35,000 area area over the short-term.

If price moves above the 39,000 level then the pattern will be invalidated. A powerful rally towards the 41,000 resistance level could then follow.

Crypto Index technical summary

Crypto Index analysis shows that price could correct back towards the 35,000 level this week. However, a large bullish reversal pattern appears to be unfolding over the medium term.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
